Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice. Mince the garlic. Thinly slice the chives.
Boil the pasta
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the zucchini and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender. Add the tomatoes, peas, demi-glace, cream, ½ the reserved cooking water, the spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until thickened. Add 1 tbsp butter; stir well.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta and 2 tbsp butter. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until heated through and combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the chives. Bon appétit!
